"The best feeling stepping out of the car at Merry Winds! The house is so welcoming and inviting, and the view is incredible. We had a wonderful week crabbing, fishing dolphin watching, shelling, kite flying, boogie boarding and just recharging and unwinding. Most of those things we could do without even leaving the house. The location is ideal for maximizing your beach experience at the Outer Banks.You can tell the owners really take pride in their home. We love it here - already booked again for next year!"

"Amazing - I have rented a ton of houses that are nicer, bigger, much more modern. Sure it’s a little dated and slightly run down in some areas, but I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a house I’ve rented more. It’s a charming little cottage right on the ocean. It’s surrounded my multi-million dollar homes and almost looks comical when comparing the neighbors houses. We had maybe 4 groups total on the beach for a hundred yard stretch and not one person within 50 feet of us. The beach is amazing and the views from the house are stunning. Don’t over think this place just book it! We loved it."

"beautiful views of the ocean and a very lovely home - It is nice how the owners try to upgrade something every year. It is also a wonderful size for smaller families. We appreciated the multiple room DVRs and the movie channels which came in handy when taking a break from the sun. We hosted other family members and all had a wonderful time. Thank you!"

"July 2017 Stay - This is our fourth year at Merry Winds. There is something very special about this place...from its beachfront location right down to its charming interior. Three generations vacation together very comfortably here. The views are magnificent - sunrises over the ocean and sunsets featuring Currituck Lighthouse. Our coffee even tastes better sipped by the ocean. The large upper living space is perfect for kids to play as they look out at the beach below. It is so fun to watch their excitement as planes or dolphins pass on through. The gentle waves of the ocean lull them to sleep. They are able to enjoy full days at the beach with the house being right there (every parent's dream). We love that this house is conveniently located close to the wild horse beaches, Historic Corolla Village, Currituck Lighthouse, the public access pier and Timbuck II (for the shoppers in the house). There is something for everyone. We never run out of things to do. Each year the owners make one improvement to their home. "
